The Puddle Is Now up to His Knees

When he took over I said that Todd Muller was wetter than an ocean. He capitulated and made a meal over the woke brigade’s demands for a browner front bench. Instead of cutting Simon Bridge’s throat and standing firm on his refusal to give Bridges Foreign Affairs, he
